Human Looks
He is tall, strong and handsome looking. Dark hair and eyes that seem to glow with an inner fire. Broad shoulders and muscled abs. Everything about him is a contest and not something you would expect of a god. If anything, he tries to blend in with the world, but it's as though he has an inner light that shines out no matter what he does. The darker his clothing, the more he seems to shine and thus, he tries to wear lighter stuff, but that doesn't always work when most of his winter and fall clothing are in dark shades. It's not that he doesn't like the attention, he would prefer to be the one gain the attention with his looks alone, rather than the light that seems to guide others to him.
Typically, his clothes consist of loose, but fitted jeans, a t-shirt in whatever color he fancies that day, a jacket of either leather or wool or some other fabric depending on the weather outside and shoes ranging from heavy duty boots to light weight sneakers. He doesn't try to dress flashy, but sometimes, he just looks a lot smoother and cooler than he really is, or so he thinks.
With his flight ability, he doesn't always have to turn into a phoenix to fly, he can just make the wings appear and fly around in his somewhat human form. He tries not to do this too often, but sometimes, he just doesn't want to fully transform. His wings are that gradation from dark red to palest yellow and they seem to shimmer in the sunlight and glow brightest at night, like the sun trying to break through the night.
Phoenix Looks
Ah, that firebird form, so beautiful and yet, so deadly. A handsome red bird with wings fading from the deepest of red all the way to well when he's resting, but literally lighting on fire as he flies through the skies. His eyes are a deep, bright golden shade and the faster he flies, the warmer his flames get, eventually turning into the beautiful white-blue color of the hottest of flames. He is something to behold in this form, not that you will ever touch or capture him when he flies by, because most of the time when people rush to see where he landed, he's already a human again, looking up at the sky acting like he saw it too and now he wants to know where it went.

Street Lord
Kato is ruthless when angered, he'll smile cruelly at you and tell you to start running because he'll wipe you out if you don't run fast enough. His heart is cruel and cold when he's unhappy and angry. He's never had any patients for ignorance and thus, he won't put up with it. If you can't understand him, he's likely to get angry and threaten you until you run away with your tail between your legs, then he'll smile wickedly and fold his arms behind his head that pretty much says, "My work here is done." That's about the only time he lets on to who and what he is. Typically, he'll pretend that he's nothing, but a normal human being, but often enough, people can figure out that he isn't.
Trickerster King
He absolutely loves to play pranks on others. He'll make jokes and mess around, but often enough it makes people mad. Usually, he just brushes if off or get angry with them, but it never stops him from doing it all over again. He'll grin like a fool and often times pretend that he didn't do it, which usually drives people even more insane. He loves it though, he loves it when people don't take it seriously and end up laughing instead of frowning. Making others smile seems to be a thing for him and he'll just smile and enjoy it when they are oh so happy. He takes personal pride and pleasure knowing that his pranks and jokes aren't always taken seriously.
Dangerous Fate
Kato refuses to fall in love. He will not allow his heart to be claimed by someone or anyone ever again. His family died because of it and the one woman he loved died because of his love and thus, he won't let anyone in. He doesn't even make friends. One day, you'll meet him and the next day, you'll never see him again, he won't stick around and he's constantly on the move, he stays a month at each of his homes and then he's gone to the next home, working from a laptop and web conferences. His fate and life is riddled with danger and he won't allow anyone else to get dragged into it.
Warrior's Heart
Once upon a time, he was a gladiator and thus, it has stuck with him. He's always been a fighter and so, he still has those sorts of reactions to certain things. He doesn't like challenges and will get into fights easily. Often times, Kato doesn't notice when something painful happens to him. More often than not, he doesn't even respond when there is blood running down his arm, the most he will do is glance at it before focusing on what is happening right that moment. He has a tendency to get so into fights that by the time it's over, he's exhausted himself and usually only makes it far enough to be considered safe before he will just pass out. It's both a hazard and a blessing.

Rise of the Empire
Before the rise of the Empire, there was a village, already the influence of Rome could be seen with the temples to the gods and the reverence that was given to the things that were said about them, but this story is not about that. You could never call Kato normal, because he'd always had some sort of power with him and thus, he was someone that others wanted. He'd been this way since birth, when meteors had fallen the day he was born and when a once thought to be dead baby took it's first wailing breath. His village even had another name for him Apollo was a name often heard among those he had lived with in his younger years. Roman heard of this and they craved his power. That is why they came to his village and this is where our story really starts.
His people were conquered by the rise of the Romans. Taken away from his family, he was forced into a life he didn't want. Though his name had originally been Apollo, the Romans saw no point in allowing him to keep his Greek name and thus renamed him Kato Maximus Leonitus. He was made a gladiator and he was to pay for his families rights to live on the newly claimed Roman lands. He resented them and all the pressure they put on him, resented the fact that he was made a slave of sorts. He wasn't allowed any sort of freedom. He knew he would have to earn his rights back by winning in the blood arena. It wasn't what he wanted to do, but he had no other choice and thus, he fought, hoping one day he could go back to his family. It was a hard and painful life, often carrying a burden of severe wounds and aching bones, there was almost nothing he could or so he thought.
A new Beast
As time went by, Kato was allowed more freedom and soon, he was able to buy his freedom from the people that oppressed him, but he no longer felt oppressed. He was able to gain citizenship among the Romans and joined a Legion. While he was out with them though, disaster struck. Giant, flaming rocks fell from the sky and wiped out most of his Legion, they were rescued and taken to the infirmary, but not matter what they did, all Kato felt was a burning, he felt as though he was on fire and he fell asleep with a burning heat in his body. The following morning, Kato rose from his bed before the rest of them and ran, rushing into the forest that surrounded the camp and fell to his knees, begging Jupiter for guidance. No answer came except the growing hum of new power within his body. Once more he'd gone through a change, but just the second one of several more to come.
This moment in his life led him home, where he was safe for a time. He fell in love, planned on getting married and having children, but that was when he was found. They forced him to his knees and demanded to know why he'd run. He had no answer, except that something had possessed him into running and he would gladly return with them, by this time he had a better handle on his powers. They told him that he could come back, but only if he took the life of his love. He stared at them in shock, but knew it would be her life or the whole villages. With eyes shining with tears, he took hold of his blade and slit her throat. He would forever regret doing it.
Lord of the Sun
The stronger he grew, the more powerful he became. He gained new powers as time went by and eventually gained a whole new form. He could turn into a firebird, a bird of luck and beauty and love. Yet, that was not what he became known for. He was immortal by the end of it and was even part of the Ninth Legion when they lost the Eagle. After that, he discovered that he had to go into hiding for several years until most of the people he had known had died off. With his changes he's looks had changed slightly and he wasn't aging nearly as fast as he was before. The stronger he got the more changes over came him. His eyes changed to a liquid, molten gold color and his hair, still nearly black, seemed to shine like a dark halo. He was literally considered the god Apollo, born into this world to show them the light of the sun.
Apollo, he'd grown used to hearing people call him that. He'd grown used to the bowing and the star struck looks that were cast upon him, but how long could that last? His answer would come all too soon.
Fall of the Empire
Kato Maximus Apollo Leonitus was there when the Empire rose and he was there when it fell from glory. He watched it with sad eyes, having foreseen the fall of the Empire he called home. That was his gift as much as it was his curse. With a sad, broken heart, he had left to find a new way of life as the name of the Gods disappeared from the world as the years wore on. He moved around, from place to place, watching them rise and watching them fall. He was impressed by the rise of North America, he hadn't thought they would last, but as time went by, these new places seemed to grow stronger, he watched the world wars from the sidelines, questioning the sanity of the people who started these wars. Nothing good came of war or so he thought, but then it was as if the world hit a moment of calm and he wondered just how long this would last.
Whole new World
The modern era was something that Kato didn't understand. It confused and baffled him for the longest time, but his wealth was immense and soon, he was able to figure it out. He opened a top notch publishing firm and felt like he was on top of the world. He published only the best and more often than not, those books were on the top of the charts, but there was something missing from his life and he knew it was love. Everyone he'd once loved had died, they were gone from this world now and he was alone, he would forever be alone. Even when the meteors hit, he was unaffected by it, even though he knew more immortals could be born from it. He cared not, he closed his heart to the world or so he hoped.
